Charlie Trotter Freaks Out At His Shuttered Restaurant Auction
Charlie Trotter has been known to have his salty days. Maybe more than a few, since one time a US Army veteran said that working on Charlie's line was more difficult than war. But still, Charlie is largely a respected general de cuisine, who seems to be having just a touch of difficulty giving up his seminal Chicago restaurant.
Charlie Trotter's closed earlier this year after 25 years because he wanted to go to grad school. Of course, before Charlie goes off in pursuit of higher education, he has to get rid of all the stuff in his restaurant. On Wednesday, he held an auction in the now-empty dining room but interrupted the proceedings to storm the auctioneer's podium when he was — ahem — displeased with a $275 bid on a framed Paul Elledge photo. The rant reportedly went something like this:
"Enough…Do you guys even know what this is? Of course you don't…Just so you know, the frames alone are worth like $250, let alone an original image…Are you kidding me? I mean, I'll fucking buy them myself, together."
Let's all just slowly back away, shall we?

Two distinct (n+1) REMPI techniques for obtaining the alignment of gas phase atoms and molecules from photoelectron angular distributions are presented. In both methods, the alignment is extracted from the angular distributions independently of the photoionization dynamics. The first method, which takes advantage of circular dichroism in the angular distributions (CDAD) has already been established experimentally as a useful probe of state alignment. The theory outlined in previous work is expanded here. The second method involves photoionization with light linearly polarized along the photoelectron collection direction and is presented here for the first time.

Strong earnings were priced in given recent strength in retaining subscribers. KDDI understandably left its full year forecast in place projecting a lower y-o-y net profit on higher revenue. However, that does allow it to raise its forecast this autumn if number portability is not as severe as anticipated. Its shares by the way lost 2.15% on the day.
Shares of NTT DoCoMo (NYSE:DCM) (Tokyo: 9437) are trading near an all-time low and could obviously go lower if it too voices concerns about number portability when it reports earnings on Friday, July 28th. DoCoMo's ordinary shares lost 0.60% Friday in Tokyo.
Softbank Corp (OTCPK:SFTBF) (Tokyo: 9984) has experienced nearly a complete reversal giving up most of the gains from its multi-year share price peak early this year. The market doesn't seem to be buying the synergies of Softbank and Yahoo! Japan (Tokyo: 4689) as they would be applied to the former's acquisition of Vodafone Japan. I am also becoming increasingly doubtful of how much impact Softbank will have against its much larger rivals. And the financing of the multi-billion dollar acquisition seems to be really straining the firm and worrying analysts. Softbank's ordinary shares lost 2.86% in Friday trading in Tokyo.
It is hard to ignore the mammoth cellular phone industry in Japan that has more than 90 million subscribers among a population estimated in the 120-130 million range. As we all know however, that much saturation means adding new subscribers is forever challenging as is boosting margins. That being said, I believe the best play if there is one, is NTT DoCoMo since it's already trading down and it has been buying back shares at these "low" levels and could increase its dividend. I wouldn't expect any big jumps overnight unless DoCoMo comes out with a bullish forecast. An upside earnings surprise next Friday seems unlikely. At any rate, holding on to shares into the new year could be a nice play on an expected stronger yen going into 2007.

A Chinese Odyssey is a two-part 1995 Hong Kong fantasy-comedy film directed and written by Jeffrey Lau, starring Stephen Chow, Ng Man-tat, Yammie Lam, Karen Mok and others. The first part is titled A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box while the second one is called A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella. The film is very loosely based on the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West. It also incorporates elements of slapstick comedy and wuxia revolving around the central theme of a love story.
Although the dialogue is in Cantonese, A Chinese Odyssey has become a cult classic among Mandarin-speaking young adults in mainland China.[1]
Part One[edit]
500 years ago, during their journey to the west to fetch the Buddhist scriptures, Monkey got annoyed with the constant nagging of his master, Longevity Monk, and decided to betray him. He was intercepted and subdued by Guanyin, who decided to give him a second chance after Longevity Monk pleaded for leniency.
In the present, Monkey is reincarnated as Joker, the chief of a group of outlaws. Joker and his gang are attacked by two demons, Spider Woman and Bak Jing-jing, who threaten them and force them to do their bidding. Joker's second-in-command (a reincarnation of Pigsy) secretly overhears the demons' plan to capture Longevity Monk and feast on his flesh to gain immortality. Joker also falls in love with Bak Jing-jing. Grandpa Buddha shows up in disguise as a bunch of grapes, informs Joker about the danger he is in, and gives him a magic mirror which can reveal a being's true form.
The group are later attacked by Bull King, who is also after Longevity Monk. Joker and Pigsy flee with Bak Jing-jing and Spider Woman to Waterfall Cave, where the two demons start fighting over Joker. Bak Jing-jing and Joker eventually flee from the cave while Spider Woman is impregnated with Pigsy's child by accident. As Bak Jing-jing had been poisoned by Spider Woman, Joker goes back to the cave to ask for the antidote, but is imprisoned by Spider Woman. In the meantime, outside the cave, Bak Jing-jing is captured by Bull King, who cures her of the poison.
Inside the cave, Joker finds Pandora's Box, which can open up a time portal when moonlight shines on it and when "Prajñāpāramitā" is chanted. He also overhears Guanyin's voice, telling him that he was actually Monkey in his past life and is destined to continue his quest to escort his master on the journey to the west. His true destiny will be revealed after he gets three marks on the sole of his foot. Meanwhile, Bull King and Bak Jing-jing enter the cave and fight with Spider Woman. Bak Jing-jing commits suicide after mistakenly believing that Joker has betrayed her love and fathered a child with Spider Woman.
Joker finds Bak Jing-jing and tries to save her by travelling back in time with the aid of Pandora's Box, but each time he arrives a few seconds too late to stop her from committing suicide. He finally manages to make it on time to prevent Bak Jing-jing from slitting her throat, but she sacrifices herself to save him from Bull King. Joker travels back in time again, but ends up going back in time by 500 years. Outside the cave, he encounters a fairy, Zixia, who confiscates Pandora's Box and sears three dots on the sole of his foot to mark him as her servant. This fulfils his true destiny as Monkey. He looks in the magic mirror given to him by Grandpa Buddha earlier and is shocked to see a reflection of himself as Monkey.
Part Two[edit]
After travelling back in time, Joker learns more about his past life and reunites with his master, Longevity Monk, and his fellows, Pigsy and Sandy. However, he does not want to accept his fate as Monkey because he just wants to get back Pandora's Box and return to 500 years later to save Bak Jing-jing. Zixia falls in love with him after he pulls out her sword from its scabbard because she made a promise to marry the person who can unsheathe her sword.
Zixia and Longevity Monk are captured by Bull King, who wants to take Zixia as his concubine and feast on Longevity Monk's flesh to become immortal. Pigsy and Sandy try to rescue their master but he refuses to leave unless Joker promises to fulfil his destiny. Joker goes off in search of Zixia, rescues her, and they flee from Bull King. In the ensuing fight between Joker and his companions against Bull King, Joker falls off a cliff and finds himself back in Waterfall Cave, where he meets Grandpa Buddha and Bak Jing-jing. Bak Jing-jing agrees to marry Joker initially, but she leaves later and tells him to save Zixia because she knows the one he truly loves is Zixia. Shortly after, Spider Woman comes to Waterfall Cave and kills everyone there, including Joker. At the moment he dies, Joker realises the one he truly loves is Zixia.
Joker, as a ghost, hears Guanyin's voice inside the cave again, reminding him about his destiny. He decides to accept his fate and puts on the golden headband and transforms into Monkey. He returns to the world and rushes to Bull King's city to save his master and stop Bull King's wedding ceremony with Zixia. As he is now Monkey, he must relinquish all his human desires, including love, so he tells Zixia he is not Joker and pretends to scorn her.
Monkey and Bull King engage in battle. When Bull King realises he is losing, he uses Princess Iron Fan's magic fan to churn up strong winds that will blow the entire city towards the sun and kill everyone in the process. Monkey succeeds in stopping Bull King and saves everyone, but Zixia sacrifices herself to save him. As she dies, Monkey reveals his love for her and, as a result, his headband tightens and causes him to feel extreme agony. In anger, he beats up Bull King before escaping together with his master, Pigsy and Sandy by using the Pandora's Box.
Monkey wakes up later and finds himself in a cave, but with his master and fellows this time. Outside the cave, in a busy city, Monkey sees the incarnations of Joker and Zixia in a standoff on top of a wall. He uses his powers to possess Joker's body and make Joker give Zixia a long and passionate kiss before leaving Joker's body. Joker recovers and is surprised to see himself locked in an embrace with Zixia, but accepts and continues the romance with her. They notice Monkey walking away in the crowd below. He does not turn back and continues on the journey to the west with his companions.

I actually liked Bill OReilly before Glenn Beck showed up.
Before that happened, I always felt that he meant well, and his views were center right. I felt the things that he stood against were those any one should stand against (gangsta rappers encouraging our youths to not study and turn to violence for crime for example). But afterwards, it seems like there is a competition about who is more conservative. Glenn Beck always struck me as a nutcase. |

No its not a abuse of free speech here in America according to the law, but they need to remember that according to the law I have the right to keep and bear arms too, they touch me and they WILL find out if I'm armed or not, I rate that church in the same catagorie I rank the Dixie chicks and muslim terrorists all over the would threatening us |
April 6th, 2010 | #15 |
Wolfen, is there some sort of rule associated with free speech to temper people abusing it????
April 6th, 2010 | #16 | |
In Denmark we have a law against this kind of behavior. "Anyone who tries to prevent the holding of lawful public meeting is punishable by fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years. Similarly, the penalty is imposed on those who by noise or disorderly conduct disturbs public session of parliament, municipal or other public council, worship or other public religious act, or on indecent manner disturbs a funeral."

A little background of Fred Phelps may be in order:
He is does not qualify as your typical right wing God fearing radical conservative. "Phelps is a disbarred lawyer, founder of the Phelps Chartered law firm and former candidate for political office, and was a civil rights activist in Kansas. Phelps took cases on behalf of African American clients alleging racial discrimination by school systems. Phelps Chartered(His law firm) also won one of the first reverse discrimination cases. Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15 percent of the vote in 1998.[57] In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31 percent of the vote.[58] Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993[59] and 1997." wikipedia Phelps is a scammer and because of his education, he is well versed in "gaming" the system. To get an overview of how disgusting and obnoxious he is browse the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps You will also find he hates the Irish, Swedes, & Canadians. (Not me, him) Not sure if he likes anyone. He has been banned from the UK. But of course the ACLU loves him. "The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in Missouri on behalf of Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church to overturn the ban on the picketing of soldier's funerals.[104] The ACLU of Ohio also filed a similar lawsuit." In short trying to limit Free Speech in the US is very difficult, and Fred Phelps as an ex civil rights lawyer knows how to abuse it. Even with the current upcoming Supreme Court decision Fred Phelps will not stop, whether he wins or loses. He will just modify his behavior to skirt the existing laws. Here is information from the law suit limiting defamation damages against Phelps "The high court wont hear Snyders defamation charge. A lower court threw that out, essentially saying that Phelps and Co. propagate such outlandish claims that no one with any common sense would believe them anyway." |

"Anyone who tries to prevent the holding of lawful public meeting is punishable by fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years. I LIKE it, Kristina!!!! lol Sometimes I think I understand everything....then I regain consciousness. |

now don;t get me wrong they gay part of their crusade I don;t give a rats ass about, a persona sexual preference to me is none of my business, but a man who was in this Nations military, in combat, or not, and did so of his own free will, deserves the utmost respect from everybody in this country, from teh president down to the kinder gardeners who wonder what that moment of silence in school is about. |
April 11th, 2010 | #20 |
Are you really telling me you don't have any laws against such behavior in the US? I can hardly believe that, but well...I guess I'll have to.
BS like that's got nothing to do with freedom of speech. Here in Germany, knowingly disturbing a funeral gets you up to 3 years in jail... |

The entire marketing strategy should answer the question: "How can we get the target audience to adopt the desired behavior(s)?" You should be able to explain your intervention design based on data about/from your target audience, theory, and other research.
Determining a marketing strategy should be a creative process. Some members of your planning team may be uncomfortable with brainstorming and working with free-flowing ideas. If so, try selecting a smaller group of individuals who are comfortable with the creative (although still research-based) nature of this process. They can work on some initial strategies and then take their ideas back to the larger group.

Price ans quality are in a good relationship. Hard do find a place in Venice which offers you the same. Location: near the Rialto-Bridge, supermarket just around the corner, quiet Room: provides everything you need for a city-trip. Ideal for: young people, or a couple with a kid. Bathing-tube may be a little bit difficult for older people, because you have to climb up two stairs to get in. Staff: the student who met us at the meeting point and showed us the location was very friendly and gave us many tips for our trip. Was great to have her. All in all: would stay in Alloggi alla Rivetta again, because we (a group of students) enjoyed it very much.

This property exceeded our expectations in every way. For the price we expected a small "adequate" room with a hotplate if we were lucky. Instead we were welcomed to a cozy apartment with a full kitchen, laundry, sitting room and master bedroom. The location was perfect for sightseeing and the supermarket literally steps away. And the bonus? Listening to the gondoliers serenade their passengers through the open window. We would absolutely book this property if we were to visit Venice again.

This is simply a great apartment in a fabulous location. Steps from the Rialto bridge, a few minutes away from Piazza San Marco and from the Museo Dell'Accademia, yet it is very quiet, close to a local supermarket and to a great coffee/Prosciutto specialty shop. About the usual FAQs: If you arrive at the Venice Airport, I recommend you call the main AllaRivetta phone #, then take the AliLaguna boat from the airport to the Rialto Bridge - you will meet the contact-person in a close-by piazza. To access the apartment there are stairs to climb; the space is small but just as expected from site description; there is a sink, ustensils, a mini-refrigerator and a microwave (no stovetop or oven as described on site); best suited to a couple or 3 people, though we went with our children of 8 and 6 and they enjoyed the doll-house charm thoroughly; there is also no internet connection but they do have wifi in the nearby coffee shop; there were no other charges or costs besides what is indicated on the site. I must add that Monica, the person administering the apartment, is fantastic and was very helpful to us in a slightly difficult situation. This will be our choice when (if) we return to Venice.

Grazia sent her brother (Giovanni - but I've forgotten his name)to meet us at the Vaporetto 2 Stop for the Rialto Bridge. He walked us to the Alloggi aila Rivetta Inn. The apartment was nice. Without his help, we would have been hours finding it. Once there, it was very easy to walk around Venice. The apartment was close to Basilica San Marco and Campo San Luca (which has nice shops and restaurants). We enjoyed our visit. Grazia and Giovanni were very helpful!

This appartment is very well located, clean and offering sufficient space for two persons. Close to the main attractions and very well connected to the public transport facilities. Price is a bit high, on the other hand: quality of offered appartment is also good (...and yes...this IS Venice...)

This was a fabulous deal and a lovely apartment. Both of our hosts were helpful and eager to assist us with any needs during our stay in Venice. The apartment even came with a Prosecco, and the kitchen was well-stocked. Overall, it is an excellent option.

il posto e' carino, pulito anche se la strada per raggiungerlo non facile e isolata. Consiglierei tuttavia di riservare solo la suite ambra poiche'nella suite selva la cucina praticamente non esiste a differenza di quanto segnalato sul sito internet.

New Style Tradition
Savannah, Georgia–based interior designer Jane Coslick helped orchestrate the mix, aiming to make the traditionally styled new house look as if it had been there for decades. She prevailed upon the builder to give the shiplap pine paneling on the walls a loosened-by-time look, scattered around some of the owners' vintage finds, used old shutters as closet doors, and commissioned a dining table with a gently worn finish. Even concessions to modern times, like the tiled backsplash and concrete counters, are met with old-fashioned touches, such as a faux hutch made from cabinets with brackets and chicken-wire door fronts. "Lots of white and plenty of sun make everything pop," says Kirsten. "But even on rainy days, when I step in the front door, I know I'm going to have fun."
Shown: Retro appliances, pendants, and cabinet hardware set the tone in the kitchen; gingerbread brackets play off concrete counters. Ample amounts of natural light and white paint cool off tropical waves of turquoise and aqua. -

Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Biological therapies such as denileukin diftitox may be able to deliver cancer-killing substances directly to melanoma cells. Combining vaccine therapy with biological therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining vaccine therapy with denileukin diftitox in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Melanoma (Skin) |
Biological: denileukin diftitox Biological: recombinant CD40-ligand Biological: therapeutic autologous dendritic cells |
Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Vaccination of HLA-A1 and/or -A2+ Stage III or IV Melanoma Patients With Tumor Peptide-Loaded Autologous Dendritic Cells With Prior Depletion of CD25-Positive Cells Using Denileukin Difitox (ONTAK) |
- Safety and tolerability as assessed by clinical and laboratory evaluation at every visit [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Overall survival as assessed by clinical staging (CT scan and positron emission tomography [PET]) every 3 months [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Depletion of regulatory T-cells as assessed by tetramer stainings at every visit [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Induction of antigen-specific immune responses as assessed by elispot and tetramer staining at every visit [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Time to progression as assessed by clinical staging (CT scan and PET) every 3 months [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Objective response rate as assessed by clinical staging (CT scan and PET) every 3 months [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Enrollment: | 23 |
Study Start Date: | October 2002 |
Study Completion Date: | May 2012 |
Primary Completion Date: | October 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
- Compare the efficacy of vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor and influenza antigen peptides with or without ex vivo CD40-ligand and denileukin diftitox, in terms of tumor-specific T-cell response, in patients with HLA-A1- and/or HLA-A2.1-positive stage III or IV melanoma.
- Determine the safety and tolerability of these vaccinations in these patients.
- Determine tumor response in patients treated with these vaccinations.
- Phase I (Administration of denileukin diftitox and vaccinations #1 to #4): Patients undergo leukapheresis for collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBC). PBMC are processed for the generation of dendritic cells (DC) to be used for vaccinations. DC are pulsed with HLA-A1- and HLA-A2.1-restricted peptides derived from melanoma-associated tumor antigens. DC are pulsed with or without ex vivo treatment with CD40-ligand. Patients receive denileukin diftitox IV for 3 consecutive days before the first vaccination. Patients receive 4 pulsed DC vaccinations subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 14, 42, and 70 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients who show a tumor response (at least stable disease) may receive vaccination #5 and further booster vaccinations.
- Phase II: DC are generated and pulsed as in phase I. Patients receive up to 6 additional booster pulsed DC vaccinations SC on days 126, 184, 268, 356, 520, and 692 in the absence of disease progession or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed for 10 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 8-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-12 months.

The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) DISCOUNTS CONCLUSIONS OF OMEGA-3 META-ANALYSIS,
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 11, 2012—In response to a meta-analysis titled "Association Between Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation and Risk of Major Cardiovascular Disease Events" published online today in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the leading trade association representing the dietary supplement industry, issued the following statement:
Statement by Duffy MacKay N.D., vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs, CRN:
"Consumers should not discount the many proven benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in all stages of life. There is extensive scientific evidence demonstrating the importance of omega-3 fats during pregnancy/lactation, breastfeeding and childhood. Furthermore, omega-3 fats have a role in maintaining the health of adults as well as in the prevention of age-related chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline). This study does not change the current recommendations by authoritative bodies such as the World Health Organization, American Heart Association and the U.S. National Academies of Science, who recommend adequate consumption of omega-3 fats.
Our main concern is that the results of this meta-analysis will be taken out of context. The attraction of doing a meta-analysis is to combine comparable smaller clinical studies to assess whether similarities in the combined results exist. The problem is that this meta-analysis combined studies that were not comparable in their design (e.g., studies on healthy individuals were combined with those targeting diseased individuals), which makes the results more skew. Second, omega-3 fatty acids are vital nutrients and not drugs. Many of the studies included in the meta-analysis were conducted on diseased individuals already undergoing treatment with one or more drugs (e.g., statins), which may mask the less potent and more long-term effects of omega-3 fats. Along these lines, the researchers apparently did not examine within each individual study included in the meta-analysis whether individuals in the placebo group were sufficient or insufficient in their dietary intake omega-3 fats. Without that information, they could not have controlled for this variable. In this regard, studies on drugs are far simpler than those of nutrients (the treatment group gets the drug and the placebo group does not); with nutrients, if participants in the control group already have a diet sufficient in that substance, then it will be that much harder to demonstrate any benefit among the treatment participants. It is impossible for five researchers to control the diet of almost 70,000 patients over several years (particularly as a retrospective meta-analysis), as omega-3 fats are widespread throughout a variety of foods.
In conclusion, consumers should not be swayed by these results. While people should be eating a diet high in fatty fish which contain these nutrients, the reality is that people are simply not doing this. Omega-3 supplements serve as an affordable, convenient and safe way to obtain omega-3 fatty acids and the array of health benefits they offer."

In 1898, visitors to Isle of Palms came by way of water or a single railroad bridge. Originally opened as a recreational area for privileged parties at beach homes, this semi-tropical retreat, bordered by beautiful beaches and a network of marsh creeks, has lost none of its original charm. Test your skill at beach volleyball, bodysurfing, shrimping or crabbing. Wild Dunes Resort, on the northern tip of the island, also features outstanding accommodations, golf, tennis and a marina.

My Grand Canyon back country permit request was approved!!!! I'll be turning 30 at the bottom of the canyon and having a beer at Phantom Ranch! So stinking excited even though I'm not even close to in shape yet. 4 months to prepare. Squee!!!
I love the Phantom Ranch... Being in the canyon is one of the most unique spaces I've ever been in my life...

Think of the haters in your life as sandpaper; theyll scratch you up time and time again but in the end youre polished, smooth, and spotless..while they end up useless
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Time to lug that backpack up Camelback a few times a week. (if you can find parking.)
Unfortunately that trail is closed this year to build a parking structure I have some alternate trails picked out that should last me through May. Any good ideas for triple digit hiking?
Actually, I do, although they all require a bit of a drive from the valley. There are tons of great places up on the Mogollon Rim. Fossil Springs (near Strawberry, North of Payson) is absolutely spectacular!
Alternatively, if you wanted to go South, there is tons of great hiking on Mt. Lemmon. One of the many reasons I moved back to Tucson after college.

I edit often for clarity/typos.
I hope the trails are in better shape than the last time I went. Are you going down the South Kaibab or the Bright Angel trail? Did you order your meals at the Ranch? Some of the best-tasting food on earth, having dinner there! 4 months!! So envious!!
The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves. ― Pema Chödrön
tbh, I'll definitely have a beer for you How many times have you been? I'm hiking Rim to Rim, in North Kaibab and out Bright Angel. A night in Cottonwood, a night at Bright Angel, then a night at Indian Garden. I've heard South Kaibab is great for descent but not the reverse so I will save that for another trip.
S. Kaibab is definitely steeper and they suggest you not go out that way. It's shorter and more direct for going in, but NO water and little shade. That's the trail the pack mules travel.
It will be wonderful for you!! One of the best things I have done!!
Thanks for the offer Nature Girl. I have a few favorites picked out in Phoenix, it's comparable trails in cooler areas that elude me.

I recently was tricked into downloading a different texting program(by Shutterfly) than the one that came on my Bionic(it looked like an update, and it was so soon after the ICS update, I thought it was connected). Anyway, I didn't like it as much as the one that came with my phone, so I uninstalled it, and now my original texting program is nowhere to be found. I can see it in the ALL list under Manage Apps, but there's no option anywhere in that to install a shortcut to it on my desktop. I am now resorting to looking up people's names in my contacts list and clicking the little message icon. I can also hold the HOME button for a couple seconds and bring the most recent message up, and get to my inbox that way, but it's a hassle. Anyone know how to get the shortcut back on my desktop? Also, I cannot for the life of me find my Calculator that came with the phone. it just wasn't in it's normal place on one of my desktops one time I restarted my phone. I'm assuming it being lost is the same issue as the Text Messaging one, but they happened at different times, and I did nothing that interfered with it's use. idk........... HELP?
Are they not in your app drawer anymore? Should be in there and you should just be able to drag it to one of your homescreens.
Nope. That was the first place I looked. Sorry, should've mentioned that. It's just been so long since I did that.
figured you did try that, but I just had to ask to make sure. If you're willing to sacrifice all your text messages I would try clearing the data. You can easily save your text messages with an app called SMS Backup & Restore if you don't already have an app that does it. Maybe you could try disabling the app first then enabling it, maybe then it'll pop up? Never heard of an app disappearing from the app drawer like that, unless you're using a 3rd party launcher and that previous app you downloaded had the launcher hide it in the app drawer....
Go into all apps under settings scroll to bottom and make sure it didn't get disabled if it did just enable it

They're between film shoots, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have kept busy.
First, it was the creation of the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, named after Brad's mother, in his hometown of Springfield, Mo. And Wednesday, in support of Jolie's eight-year relationship with the UN Refugee Agency, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave $1 million to help displaced people in Pakistan, a country she has visited three times.
The head of the agency, António Guterres, thanked the foundation for its assistance, calling Pakistan's plight "the most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade," as more than 2 million people are currently displaced in the country.
Jolie will talk about her work in aiding refugees Thursday when she and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton celebrate World Refugee Day in Washington D.C.
Having just finished a four-month shoot for the thriller Salt, Jolie will be a stay-at-home mom as her family moves to Los Angeles while Pitt films Moneyball.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being duly authorized by their respective Governments, have signed this Agreement. Done at Rabat, this 10th day of October, 2001, in duplicate, in the English and Arabic languages, each text being equally authentic. FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Margaret DeB. Tutwiler, Ambassador of the United States of America to the Kingdom of Morocco FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF MOROCCO: Abdeslam Znined, Minister of Transportation and Merchant Marine ANNEX I Scheduled Air Transportation Section 1 Routes Airlines of each Party designated under this Annex shall, in accordance with the terms of their designation, be entitled to perform scheduled international air transportation between points on the following routes: A. Routes for the airline or airlines designated by the Government of the United States: B. Routes for the airline or airlines designated by the Government of Morocco: Section 2 Operational Flexibility Each designated airline may, on any or all flights and at its option: 1. operate flights in either or both directions; 2. combine different flight numbers within one aircraft operation; 3. serve behind, intermediate, and beyond points and points in the territories of the Parties on the routes in any combination and in any order; 4. omit stops at any point or points; 5. transfer traffic from any of its aircraft to any of its other aircraft at any point on the routes; and 6. serve points behind any point in its territory with or without change of aircraft or flight number and may hold out and advertise such services to the public as through services; without directional or geographic limitation and without loss of any right to carry traffic otherwise permissible under this Agreement; provided that, with the exception ofallcargo services. the service serves a point in the territory of the Party designating the airline. Section 3 Change of Gauge On any segment or segments of the routes above, any designated airline may perform international air transportation without any limitation as to change, at any point on the route, in type or number ofaircraft operated; provided that, with the exception ofallcargo services, in the outbound direction, the transportation beyond such point is a continuation of the transportation from the territory of the Party that has designated the airline and, in the inbound direction, the transportation to the territory of the Party that has designated the airline is a continuation of the transportation from beyond such point. ANNEX II Charter Air Transportation Airlines of each Party designated under this Annex shall, in accordance with the terms of their designation, have the right to carry international charter traffic of passengers (and their accompanying baggage) and/or cargo (including, but not limited to, freight forwarder, split, and combination (passenger/cargo) charters): Between any point or points in the territory of the Party that has designated the airline and any point or points in the territory of the other Party; and Between any point or points in the territory of the other Party and any point or points in a third country or countries, provided that, except with respect to cargo charters, such service constitutes part of a continuous operation, with or without a change of aircraft, that includes service to the homeland for the purpose of carrying local traffic between the homeland and the territory of the other Party. In the performance of services covered by this Annex, airlines of each Party designated under this Annex shall also have the right: (I) to make stopovers at any points whether within or outside of the territory of either Party; (2) to carry transit traffic through the other Party's territory; (3) to combine on the same aircraft traffic originating in one Party's territory, traffic originating in the other Party's territory, and traffic originating in third countries; and (4) to perform international air transportation without any limitation as to change, at any point on the route, in type or number of aircraft operated; provided that, except with respect to cargo charters, in the outbound direction, the transportation beyond such point is a continuation of the transportation from the territory of the Party that has designated the airline and in the inbound direction, the transportation to the territory of the Party that has designated the airline is a continuation of the transportation from beyond such point.

Section 2 Any airline designated by either Party performing international charter air transportation originating in the te!1itory of either Party, whether on a one-way or round-trip basis, shall have the option of complying with the charter laws, regulations, and rules either of its homeland or of the other Party. If a Party applies different rules, regulations, terms, conditions, or limitations to one or more of its airlines, or to airlines of different countries, each designated airline shall be subject to the least restrictive of such criteria. However, nothing contained in the above paragraph shall limit the rights of either Party to require airlines designated under this Annex by either Party to adhere to requirements relating to the protection of passenger funds and passenger cancellation and refund rights. Section 3 Except with respect to the consumer protection rules referred to in the preceding paragraph above, neither Party shall require an airline designated under this Annex by the other Party, in respect of the carriage of traffic from the territory of that other Party or of a third country on a one-way or round-trip basis, to submit more than a declaration of conformity with the applicable laws, regulations and rules referred to under section 2 of this Annex or of a waiver of these laws, regulations, or rules granted by the applicable aeronautical authorities. ANNEX III Principles of Non-Discrimination Within and Competition among Computer Reservations Systems Recognizing that Article 11 (Fair Competition) of this Agreement guarantees the airlines of both Parties "a fair and equal opportunity to compete," Considering that one of the most important aspects of the ability of an airline to compete is its ability to inform the public of its services in a fair and impartial manner, and that, therefore, the quality of information about airline services available to travel agents who directly distribute such information to the traveling public and the ability of an airline to offer those agents competitive computer reservations systems (CRSs) represent the foundation for an airline's competitive opportunities, and Considering that it is equally necessary to ensure that the interests of the consumers of air transport products are protected from any misuse of such information and its misleading presentation and that airlines and travel agents have access to effectively competitive computer reservations systems: 1. The Parties agree that CRSs will have integrated primary displays for which: a. Information regarding international air services, including the construction of connections on those services, shall be edited and displayed based on non-discriminatory and objective criteria that are not influenced, directly or indirectly, by airline or market identity. Such criteria shall apply uniformly to all participating airlines. b. CRS data bases shall be as comprehensive as possible. c. CRS vendors shall not delete information submitted by participating airlines; such information shall be accurate and transparent; for example, code-shared and changeol~gauge !lighls and !lights with slops should be clearly identified as having those characteristics. d. All CRSs that are available to travel agents who directly distributc infonnation about airline services to the traveling public in either Party's territory shall not only be obligated to, but shall also bc entitled to, operate in confonnance with the CRS rules that apply in the territory where the CRS is being operated. e. Travel agents shall be allowed to use any of the secondary displays available through the CRS so long as the travel agent makes a specific request for that display. 2. A Party shall require that each CRS vendor operating in its territory allow all airlines willing to pay any applicable non-discriminatory fee to participate in its CRS. A Party shall require that all distribution facilities that a system vendor provides shall be offered on a non-discriminatory basis to participating airlines. A Party shall require that CRS vendors display, on a non-discriminatory, objective, carrier-neutral and marketneutral basis, the international air services ofparticipating airlines in all markets in which they wish to sell those services. Upon request, a CRS vendor shall disclose details of its data base update and storage procedures, its criteria for editing and ranking infonnation, the weight given to such criteria, and the criteria used for selection ofconnect points and inclusion of connecting flights. 3. CRS vendors operating in the territory of one Party shall be entitled to bring in, maintain, and make freely available their CRSs to travel agencies or travel companies whose principal business is the distribution of travel-related products in the territory of the other Party if the CRS complies with these principles. 4. Neither Party shall, in its territory, impose or permit to be imposed on the CRS vendors of the other Party more stringent requirements with respect to access to and use ofcommunication facilities, selection and use of technical CRS hardware and software, and the technical installation ofCRS hardware, than those imposed on its own CRS vendors. 5. Neither Party shall, in its territory, impose or permit to be imposed on the CRS vendors of the other Party more restrictive requirements with respect to CRS displays (including edit and display parameters), operation, or sale than those imposed on its own CRS vendors. 6. CRSs in use in the territory ofone Party that comply with these principles and other relevant non-discriminatory regulatory, technical, and security standards shaH be entitled to effective and unimpaired access in the territory of the other Party. One aspect of this is that a designated airline shall participate in such a system as fully in its homeland territory as it does in any system offered to travel agents in the territory of the other Party. Owners/operators ofCRSs of one Party shall have the same opportunity to own/operate CRSs that conform to these principles within the territory of the other Party as do owners/operators of that Party. Each Party shall ensure that its airlines and its CRS vendors do not discriminate against travel agents in their homeland territory because of their use or possession of a CRS also operated in the territory of the other Party. ANNEX IV Transitional Provisions The provisions of this Annex shall expire on November 1, 2005. Section 1 A. Intermodal cargo. The provisions of Article 8, paragraph 8 shall not apply to airlines designated by the United States until April 1,2003. B. Fifth-freedom traffic. Notwithstanding Annex I and II of this Agreement: C. Seventh-freedom traffic. Notwithstanding Annexes I and II of this Agreement, until November 1, 2005, no airline designated by either Party may exercise the rights in: Section 2 Selections of points under section I B of this Annex shall be made, or changed, by the Government of the United States, with 30 days' notice to the Government of Morocco through diplomatic channels. Such points may be served as intermediate or beyond points, or both.

As RightWisconsin reported this week some lawmakers in Madison (Republicans no less) are attempting to use the mining reform legislation as a vehicle to hike taxes here.
Today, we bring you the latest development: The following memo was just received by every member of the Wisconsin State Legislature.
TO: Members of the Legislature
FROM: Jason Culotta, Director of Tax and Transportation Policy, WMC
DATE: February 1, 2013
RE: Opposition to a Mining Gross Receipts Tax
Some have proposed that the Legislature impose a gross tonnage tax on the proposed iron mine in northern Wisconsin to replace the net proceeds tax that has traditionally been assessed on metallic mining. WMC strongly opposes efforts to impose a gross tonnage tax for iron mining.
The net proceeds tax, like Wisconsin's franchise and corporate income taxes, are imposed on net income and profits; the greater the profits, the greater the tax liability. Even a gross receipts tax is based on a firm's revenues. Unlike a gross receipts tax or net income tax, a gross tonnage tax has no relationship to net income, revenues, or profitability. Gross tonnage taxes are among the least economically neutral of all taxes, meaning that they influence business choices regarding location, suppliers, organization, and operations.
Prior to the adoption of the Single Sales Factor apportionment formula, businesses were punished for having more payroll and property in Wisconsin. Replacing the existing net proceeds tax with a gross tonnage tax similarly punishes a mine operator for engaging in economic activity, with a steeper penalty for additional activity.
To the extent the gross tonnage tax causes costs to exceed revenues, state tax policy would force the closure or curtailment of production, causing jobs, investment, and the generation of tax revenues to cease.
The existing net proceeds tax functions like an income tax. The tax is assessed on profits, not punitively adding to the cost of extracting ore as a gross tonnage tax would. There is a direct relationship between the amount of ore that is mined and the number of employees hired, product sold, and extraction equipment purchased. If the Legislature discourages mining companies from mining iron ore by imposing a gross tonnage tax, it will discourage mining companies from hiring employees, selling ore, and purchasing mining equipment, including equipment built in Wisconsin.
WMC has consistently opposed gross receipts taxes, such as Governor Doyle's efforts in 2009 to apply a gross receipts tax on oil companies and former Senate Majority Leader Chvala's efforts in 2001 to impose a gross receipts tax on telephone companies. A gross tonnage tax on mining would stifle economic growth and investment in the same manner as these poorly conceived proposals.
The Legislature should not enact a tax that will be a deterrent to investment and job creation in northern Wisconsin. Enacting a new tax on a business seeking to locate in Wisconsin and make an enormous investment in our economy does not send the signal that Wisconsin is open for business.

Your engine combustion stroke of every vehicle relies on some conditions; first is its ignition energy which comes directly from an ignition reservoir. This igniting voltage in an engine is sent by the ignition system. To ensure that the process is carried out properly, a security Porsche distributor cap is employed. The part lets a rotor spin within the assembly, sending arcs of current to each contact point connected by insulated lines and down the plug.
The prime function of the Porsche distributor cap is to shield unwanted debris from the distributor. Without the cap, damaging elements can accumulate and wear the contacts. Extreme conditions in your engine system cause premature wear and breakdown of to a distributor. If it takes place, your engine is already at risk.
At the initial indication of wear on the Porsche distributor cap, a substitute must be purchased to preserve the performance. Nothing beats world-class makes like Crown, Mallory, and Scan-Tech that are available at Parts Train.
